Pray for our Military Leaders
Do you know that on May 1 all over the country there will be NDP events being held? But, to take this one step further - there will be events not only on American soil but also on military bases and ships all over the world. Take time to pray for our precious military men and women during this special time. Pray for their Commander in Chief as he leads and makes decisions that affect their lives and the lives of the families waiting at home. The National Day of Prayer is a great time to be reminded of all that we hold dear to our hearts in this country - freedom of speech, freedom to worship as we are led, etc. Take time to kneel before your Heavenly Father and beseech His good favor on us at this critical time in our nation's history.

I am quite certain that a significant number of people have been praying for the commander in chief for almost 8 years. Why have those prayers failed so miserably? Given this obvious observation, why continue in this fruitless endeavor?
Far more innocent Iraqis have died overseas than American soldiers. What about them? It sounds like you are saying that we should pray only for the selfish goals of American citizens, at the expense of non Citizens.
You are asking for people to specifically pray for a selfish cause. A more productive strategy would be to pray for Peace. That way, you won't be leaving anyone out.
"Freedom to worship as we are led" sounds like a discriminatory euphemisn for the real freedom guaranteed in the bill of rights which is freedom of religion (Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof). Do you feel threatened by the freedom of religion because as it is written it is inclusive of muslims, hindus, atheists, and all other alternatives to your chosen beliefs?

I was VERY concerned that Honoray Chairman for the National Day of Prayer would actually pray a prayer NOT in the Name of Jesus at a corporate prayer meeting.....I hope that this was just a rumor and not the truth....Is it?????
Was this done in response to a clear word from God????
I fear this might have opened a door in this nation that might never be shut.....I would like to share this prayer with you for the ongoing prayers that go on for this nation....I hope that it will bless you and us as we stand together asking for the Lord to Bless and restore this land....
Prayer for Mercy and Forgiveness for Our Nation
Dear Lord,
We have been following our own ways and rejecting yours. Please forgive us and have mercy on us. We have shed innocent blood, broken your laws, rebelled against You and Your authority, we have looked to our own ways and made our own convenient gods; we’ve created and believed lies and taught lies to our children. Satan is the father of lies, so, by doing this, we have made Satan our Father.
Please Forgive us, Lord, and HELP US. We cannot fix this or others alone. We cannot seem to stop this attrocious nightmare we have created that now has a life of its own. ONLY YOU can make us a people and a nation wise to acknowledge that Your ways alone are right once again.
Help us and cause us to walk according to your ways so that we would be called just in your eyes. Have mercy on us, Lord, forgive us and send your Holy Spirit to help us walk uprightly once again so that we will accomplish Your purposes and so that YOU will be seen as the ONLY true Good and GREAT God, so that ALL the nations and peoples of the world will worship you alone and walk uprightly before you. Lord, let no man be lost.
Help us to live and love as you would have us.
Please forgive us for calling evil:good and good:evil. For calling darkness;light and light:darkness for calling bitter:sweet and sweet:bitter. Please have mercy, through your Son, and make us a people and a nation that speaks and lives the truth once more. Reveal to us any bitter root judgements we have harbored and help us to allow you to take them out and turn our heaerts and lives sweet once again before YOU. Please forgive us for cursing and rejecting your creation as you made it to be and for rejecting your Word.
Lord, Your ways are perfect. We stand here now, and say, We trust in YOU Lord, with ALL our hearts, We lean not on our own understanding and in all our ways we acknowledge you So YOU will direct our paths. Lord we choose to trust, in YOU alone to perfect all that concerns us.
Help us to live this and not just say it. Thank you Lord for your great and marvelous compassion and for making a way for us to come to You and ask these things, not on based on our own worthiness; but based on the righteousness we have gained through Your son, Jesus who has made our peace with You….Thank You Father, In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
